Scott B Katy , TX December 21, 2015 Appliance: Model GE DPSE810EG5WT Two baffles had torn out as the screw heads came through the holes I ordered two new baffles and 7 screws. I also ordered 6 large washers. We were running with one baffle held by only 2 of 3 screws. It appears that a repairman in the past had removed the large washers and over time, the screw heads reamed out the hole, causing the baffles to detach and break. In about 15 minutes, I was able to tighten up the existing baffle and add the two new ones. I also added the 6 big washers to help strengthen this to prevent future issues. I no longer have to listen to my wife complain about having to unroll large items that the one baffle had rolled into one huge ball. Now everything dries correctly.
